Through peer-reviewed paper publications and presentations, keynote sessions, panel discussions, and a GenAI x Gender Tech hackathon, the conference aims to be a catalyst for change. We will inform, encourage, and celebrate technology designed with inclusion in mind, with a particular focus on women's empowerment. We will explore how women can lead the charge in creating technology that not only transforms their lives but also creates positive outcomes for all. 

We will bring together diverse stakeholders, including UN agencies, Government representatives, academicians, experts, policymakers, civil society, industry, gender financing institutions, senior and early researchers, and students, to facilitate an intergenerational and interdisciplinary dialogue.

Conference activities will also include a poster session, a concluding awards ceremony for best conference papers, posters, and hackathon teams, a gala dinner and cultural performances.
